The number of head coaches that have come and gone through the ranks of the Cleveland Browns seems overwhelming. One of Baker Mayfield’s complaints, a very valid one, is the sheer number of coaches and systems he was a part of during the first three years of his NFL career.
No one would wish the combination of Hue Jackson, Todd Haley, Gregg Williams, Todd Monken and Freddie Kitchens on any young quarterback.
Somehow, Mayfield found a modicum of success with that bizarre group of leaders before reaching the playoffs in his first year under Kevin Stefanski. While year two didn’t go well and Mayfield is likely on his way out of Cleveland, his ability to navigate rough waters early is impressive.
